         C         G7  C
When we walk with the Lord
        G7           C
In the light of His Word
      F         C           G7
What glory He sheds on our way!
          C      G7   C
While we do His good will
     G7             C
He abides with us still,
          F             C      G7  C
And with all who will trust and obey.

chorus:
   G7         C
  Trust and obey,
              A         Dm
  For there's no other way
        G7        C
  To be happy in Jesus,
           C      G7  C
  But to trust and obey.

Not a shadow can rise,
Not a cloud in the skies,
But His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt nor a fear,
Not a sigh nor a tear,
Can abide while we trust and obey.
(chorus)

But we never can prove
The delights of His love
Until all on the altar we lay;
For the favor He shows,
And the joy He bestows,
Are for them who will trust and obey.
(chorus)

Then in fellowship sweet
We will sit at His feet,
Or we'll walk by His side in the way;
What He says we will do,
Where He sends we will go,
Never fear only trust and obey.
(chorus)
